On Sunday, October 26, 861 cyclists, runners, walkers, families, and survivors gathered at West Creek Park for a Halloween-themed Finish The Ride & Run – Santa Clarita, turning a day of fitness into a powerful statement for safer streets across California. The park buzzed with costumes and determination—skeletons, traffic cones, aliens, and even a stunning Catrina brought bursts of color and spirit to the course.

From sunrise to the final medal, the energy was electric and inspiring. Participants of all ages—from 1 to 90—took on the challenge, from the 1K Kids & Puppy Run to the 62-mile Metric Century Ride, proving once again that this iconic LA County event is built on hope, resilience, and community.

Dust is still settling on our sneakers, and the cheering still echoes in our ears – what an amazing weekend! We just wrapped up our biggest and best Finish The Ride and Finish The Run Griffith Park ever on April 6th and 7th. It was a triumphant return to The Autry Museum after a few years away, and the energy was incredible.

Thanks to speedy repairs, cyclists can safely pedal ahead on the LA River Bike Path near the Ferraro soccer fields. The repairs began in late January and were made possible by advocacy efforts from Streets Are For Everyone (SAFE), Pasadena Athletic Association, the local cycling community, and Councilwoman Nithya Raman and District 4, who pushed the project forward.

Cyclists will soon have smooth pedaling ahead on the LA River Bike Path near the Ferraro soccer fields. Once the Department of Recreation and Parks approves the laydown area permit, contractors will begin repairs on hazardous sections of the bike path sometime this winter.
